  1. Hahaha! Oh, wow. Yep, fucking leeches.

    I added the following to my robots.txt:

    User-agent: Google-CloudVertexBot
    Disallow: /

    It took my site from spiking somewhere 25-100 most days depending on what was in the news to a flat 0 ever since putting it in. You can still find me as the top result by Googling "Rogue Galaxy objective review," so it's not that you can't find me. It just absolutely destroyed AI searches. It should be noted that that's not a user agent string you'll see logged; it's buried in other Google bots because they're bastards, but it honors the directive.

    Vertex was supposed to be opt-in, though.

    EDIT: FML, I have no idea HOW, but it broke counting entirely and banned literally all bots. I had to take it out. OTZ
